Associations between anthropometric indices of obesity and breast cancer risk may fail to capture the true relationship between excess body fat and risk. We used dual-energy-X-ray-absorptiometry- (DXA-) derived measures of body fat obtained in the Women's Health Initiative to examine the association between body fat and breast cancer risk; we compared these… (More)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Dietary potassium has been associated with lower risk of stroke, but there are little data on dietary potassium effects on different stroke subtypes or in older women with hypertension and nonhypertension.
METHODS
The study population consisted of 90 137 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 79 at enrollment, free of stroke history at… (More)

Although the influence of body mass index on cancer risk has been intensively investigated, few epidemiologic studies have examined the association of adult height with risk of cancer. We assessed the association of height with risk of all cancer and of 19 site-specific cancers in the Canadian National Breast Screening Study, a prospective cohort of nearly… (More)

BACKGROUND
Prospective studies in Western and Asian populations suggest that height is a risk factor for various cancers. However, few studies have explored potential confounding or effect modification of the association by other factors.
METHODS
We examined the association between height measured at enrollment in 144,701 women participating in the… (More)

BACKGROUND
Several health agencies have issued guidelines promoting behaviors to reduce chronic disease risk; however, little is known about the impact of such guidelines, particularly on cancer incidence.
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to determine whether greater adherence to the American Cancer Society (ACS) cancer prevention guidelines is associated with… (More)

OBJECTIVES
Testosterone supplementation is being prescribed increasingly to treat symptoms of hormone deficiency in pre- and postmenopausal women; however, studies of the association of testosterone therapy, alone or in combination with estrogen, with risk of breast cancer are limited. The current study assessed the association of combination conjugated… (More)

In distributed system different modules can use different representations for the same data. To exchange such data between modules, it is necessary to reformat the data. This operation (called marshalling) needs some computer time and sometimes it is most expensive part in network communication. The article discusses some problems and concrete… (More)

Population-based case-control studies have found relationships between risk of prostate cancer and genetic polymorphisms in the CAG repeat and GGC repeat of the X-linked androgen receptor gene (AR) as well as the autosomal gene coding for glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1). This family-based study utilized the transmission disequilibrium test to examine… (More)

Many problems of distributed object-oriented applications can be uniformly resolved in the frame of approach based on the concept of cover. The cover is defined as an environment which transparently controls all aspects of object's community life: creation, interaction etc. To enable transparency, an object-oriented application must obey a principle of late… (More)
